Mr. Dr. Hettl, as a management expert, you know what distinguishes good leadership. What should someone bring to a leadership position? A leader should be aware that they will face a series of challenges. These begin with the willingness to "want" to lead, that is, to fully assume responsibility. Furthermore, it requires enough perseverance to enter challenging situations in dealing with employees and superiors and to position oneself accordingly. In addition to a number of other requirements, the fundamental attitude of wanting to work with people and help them progress is crucial.
What makes a true leader? True leaders take initiative, provide direction, are socially competent, good motivators, and listen to their employees.
How can leadership skills be effectively increased? Leadership skills can be trained. It is helpful to first be clear about where one stands as a leader. Based on this, one can then work on development areas, such as leadership style, influencing, and delegation ability, through individual coaching and leadership training.
How does good or bad leadership affect the overall success of the company? The contribution that good leaders make to success is essential. Without effective, sustainable, and results-oriented leadership, every company will fail, and sooner rather than later.
Would you agree that employees do not leave their company, but their leaders? Especially good employees leave their leaders. This has been proven through many studies and is a painful reality in daily practice.
